Various - Avantgardism - Drum 'N' Bass - 19-Dec-05 08:04 PM
"Happy Little Wilberforce" by Tom Jenkinson (bka, Squarepusher) is, in my opinion, one of the most under rated 'pusher tracks. Noone seems to know about this song, and I stumble across it through random downloading. The edits are absolutely amazing - this track really makes me wonder what he was using (equipment and chemical wise!) to compose this. It makes perfect sense to me, but when I play it for others, they say it sounds like the cd is skipping. Fools!
Chris Clark - Empty The Bones Of You - 25-Jan-05 12:41 AM
Awesome release, been getting into it pretty hard lately. Beautifully haunting melodies pull you in and calm you down. This is something I will eventually purchase on vinyl and cd.
'Ceramics Is the Bomb' is pretty great also. So far I'm really liking what I'm hearing of Chris Clark.
Mos Def - 14-Dec-04 05:10 PM
One of the most important figure in hiphop music and culture, the Mighty Mos Def can not be tested. As an accomplished lyricist, Mos Def has worked with just about anyone you can think of in the 'underground' hiphop world ( the Roots, Talib Kwelli, De La Soul, Common, etc). As a pop culture icon, Mos Def is quickly becoming a house hold name as he has appeared in movies and televisions shows.
If you haven't heard the Black Star album, Black on Both Sides, or anything else from the Might Mos, the you don't know what you've been sleeping on.
Hexstatic - Solid Steel Presents Hexstatic - Listen & Learn - 04-Dec-03 04:53 AM
I love this mix so much. Great, great, great assortment of tracks that span a great deal of time. From the Boards of Canada classic "Aquarius" to Grandmaster Flash's the Message, this is a pretty solid mix. Great stuff, great stuff!
Boards Of Canada - Boc Maxima - 14-Nov-03 06:59 AM
Everytime I hear this album I fall deeper in love with the sounds of Boards of Canada. Whoa that was a long sentence. Anyways, BOC Maxima is a great album, the first that I'd heard from them. It's so damn chill, it almost makes me lethargic, but in the most happy way possible. I want to hang out with these guys - I've seen pictures of their studio (mostly old analog equipment, percussion instruments and guitars), and I would simply love to see them in action.
Great album. Definetly pick it up if you like chill, relaxed, ambient music with a great beat.
